26 August 2024 - 10:00PM
Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE
American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the
Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing
organization ("CDMO"), today released a letter to shareholders from
its CEO Jeff Wolf:
"We are excited to share an update on Scorpius
as we continue to position the company to take a lead role in
catering to the rapidly growing biologic and cell therapy markets.
Over the past several years, we have made significant investments
designed to establish Scorpius as a leading biologic manufacturing
CDMO. Notably, we have expanded our mammalian and microbial
production capability to enable us to offer a broad range of
biologic manufacturing services to our customers. Our robust
investments and ongoing efforts have already resulted in a
threefold increase in revenue for the first half of 2024. Our
current sales pipeline now includes more than $100 million in
weighted opportunities across the biopharmaceutical and government
sectors.
Given the extensive opportunities before us, we
recently completed a financing, raising approximately $14.4 million
in gross proceeds. These funds will enable us to better service our
existing clients as well as attract larger prospective customers as
we diversify our customer base with a strong mix of commercial and
government opportunities. Additionally, we have started
transitioning several key clients from the process development
phase into full-scale manufacturing, enabling an additional revenue
stream and marking a significant shift in our operational
focus.
We believe that Scorpius is now exceptionally
well-positioned to service new and existing clients, expand its
service offering and achieve positive cash flow in the near future.
Given these overarching goals, we are taking steps to align senior
executive compensation with our growth objectives, contingent on
meeting sales targets and booking goals.
We’ve built and staffed a state-of-the-art CDMO
with a scalable and high-margin business model. Scorpius’ profile
and reputation for quality biomanufacturing is indeed growing in
the industry. With the closing of this financing, we are now well
positioned to deliver significant returns to our shareholders in
the years to come."
